SUMMARY:
On July 8, 2020 and July 21, 2020, the Eastside Redevelopment Board (ERB) and Urban Core Redevelopment Board (UCRB) received a presentation by the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization’s (TPO) Planning Consultant, Cory Wilkinson with HDR Engineering regarding the Davis Highway - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd /Alcaniz Street Two-Way Conversion Traffic Feasibility Study. During both meetings, discussion was held pertaining to conceptual design elements described in the study, regarding the conversion of formal bike lanes to sharrow markings and on-street parking.
During the development of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Urban Design Overlay District, engineering and design firm, Hall Planning and Engineering, Inc., and urban planning and design firm, DPZ CoDESIGN, analyzed field conditions, including traffic and development patterns and community characteristics, within both the MLK-Alcaniz and Davis Highway corridors. Due to the firms’ familiarity with the project area, staff re-engaged the firms to review the concerns raised by the Boards and prepare a responsive presentation. Rick Hall, P.E., President of Hall Planning and Engineering, Inc. will provide the presentation.
